Arusha, Tanzania

Arusha is located in northern highlands of Tanzania and is surrounded by some of Africa's most celebrated landscapes and national parks. The bustling town lies in the shadow of Mount Meru on the eastern edge of the eastern branch of the Great Rift Valley.

Arusha is called the safari capital of the country, and hosts many international visitors embarking on the popular northern safari circuit. With its pleasant year round climate and close proximity to Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara, Olduvai Gorge, Tarangire National Park, and Mount Kilimanjaro, Arusha is considered a great place to visit and volunteer. We offer volunteer placements within Arusha town, and in the surrounding rural communities. Arusha has its own airport, mainly serviced by domestic flights from within Tanzania. International travelers mainly arrive at the Kilimanjaro International Airport.

There are also scheduled shuttle buses between Arusha and Nairobi, as also to Dar El Salaam. With our volunteer programs we allow you to discover the wonders of East Africa, while doing meaningful and rewarding community work..

Arrival volunteer Leah Herlihy to Peru Cusco for the Girls Orphanage program. "I would like to immerse myself in the Spanish language. I am from Southern AZ and have been a part of a Hispanic culture, but lack the language comprehension and speaking.
